People's Daily latest commentary: The Democratic Progressive Party authorities are poisoning the youth of Taiwan through textbooks, their actions are despicable and their hearts are condemnable. In geography, it explicitly or implicitly suggests the "status of Taiwan is undetermined" theory; in history, the 2000-year history from the Shang and Zhou dynasties to the Sui and Tang dynasties is briefly described in only 1600 words, even incorporating Chinese history into East Asian history...
Comments: Education should be a sacred place for cultivating virtue and nurturing people, but it has become a "cash machine" for the DPP to manipulate politics. They compress the 5,000-year Chinese history into a weak footnote of the East Asian narrative, smuggle the geography of China's Taiwan into a "status undetermined" separatist rhetoric, and forcibly insert 13 articles that incite "the threat of China."
This "de-Chinese" farce, on the surface, claims to be "natural independence," but in reality, it is a carefully manufactured "artificial poison." First, they alter the historical framework and then implant divisive prejudices, trying to shape the children of Taiwan into "Taiwan independence" vote batteries who are spiritually rootless and culturally fragmented.
However, the deep roots of Chinese culture are embedded in Taiwan, and the blood and lineage identity cannot be twisted by curriculum reforms. The DPP's move will eventually backfire on its legitimacy in governance, and the politicians who have forgotten their ancestors will also face historical judgment and public condemnation.
